Looks like maybe a bit lazy too - they have found that it isn't necessary to fly south anymore. I’m finding that they are pretty adaptable birds.

He has been eating from my crab apple tree, just outside my living room window where each morning I look for him. He also made it thru this blizzard the Northeast just had yesterday. I just hope he makes it thru the rest of our long winter up here in Northern Maine....I live up here near Caribou.

I was prompted to goggle "robins" and "Maine" because I couldn't believe what I'm seeing. We have a bird feeder but robins never bothered with that, seeking the worms and whatever insects on the ground or in the bushes. Lots of jays, chickadees, starlings, and doves come by for chow. I haven't see the cardinal in a couple of weeks. My first thought was, ohhhhhh an early spring. But after reading the postings here, I took my winter coat back out of the cedar closet. :-) Have a good day, y'all. I’m watching a robin here in Windham as I write this.

However, our deck feeder is hosting a whole flock of mourning doves! Keeps the cats quite entertained! No robins spotted here on the coast yet.

Makes us think that maybe spring is right around the corner (smile). Guess the berries and food in southern Maine must have been really good this year.

This Jan. and Feb. I have seen flocks in the Portland area. Don't remember this from past years. Oh! Thanks. I was beginning to wonder. This Jan. and Feb. I have seen flocks in the Portland area.

I am just seeing ordinary birds here. She saw both red and yellow grosbeaks in that same tree yesterday. She should be the one to do the bird count. Photographer was Tracey.
